Fund set-up
Your private label fund specialist in Liechtenstein
These special made-to-order investment funds, also known as white label funds, are configured on the instructions of a third party (the promoter) in accordance with its wishes and usually under its own name (label). The name of the fund normally references the instructing party (principal), thereby strengthening its own brand and ideally indicating the investor profile at the same time. With this kind of fund the principal takes a prominent role, e.g. acting as the asset manager responsible for the fund. The basic prerequisite, of course, is satisfaction of all the qualification criteria laid down by law.
BENDURA FUND MANAGEMENT ALPHA AG will be delighted to offer you its services in setting up private label funds, especially of the kinds described below, and in providing support in the ways likewise described below.
